Hotel berhampiran Kuil Houonji, Wakayama

Good hotel, well located beside Wakayama Station. About a 10 min bus journey or 30 min walk to the Wakayama Castle and 45 min bus to the Kuroshio Marina. Really comfortable room with comfy bed, a desk / chair, and clean bathroom. It’s compact (like most hotels in Japan) but has plenty of space for luggage etc. Breakfast was decent, good eggs. It runs until 09:30AM but the popular food is gone by about 09:00AM so recommend to eat early! Laundry room cheap to use. The staff were really lovely. A comfortable stay, would recommend!

Actually great amenities which are not really listed but you’ll get towels, slippers and pyjamas. They have toiletries by the reception. There is a small onsen as well! Check in is only from 5 pm but you can leave your luggage at the reception downstairs

It is a good spot for a solo traveler. Capsules are clean. Towels are provided. There is a small tea and coffee area at the entrance. They also have Chinese-standard plug in the capsule which was handy. Also, I likes the smell of wood. The worst part is that if you come before check-in, nobody is in there, meaning you will have to stroll around and wait for 16:00.

Simple and basic. Brand new. Easy to get in and out. Lots of privacy with one lift going up and another lift going down. They also do room rentals with 2 hours minimum.

Beautiful hotel, the rooms were really special in their own ways. The one I stayed in was relatively spacious for Japan standards, and the views of the sea were stunning. Amenities were adequate, sheets and pillows smell fresh and clean. They provide pyjamas as well! The highlights of this hotel is the super spacious, clean and new bathroom with a tub that automatically fills itself to 42 degrees Celsius water as well as the back door of the hotel leads directly to the private beach area that is quiet and peaceful. Not to forget the restaurant area with beautiful views as well! Service was friendly, English was minimal but good enough. Location is slightly inaccessible without a car but the quiet surrounding makes up for it.

The hotel was really nice. The front desk staff were very friendly and confident, and check-in was very easy. The room wasn’t very big, but it was very clean, and a lot of small details made it feel really thoughtful. I’d definitely come back here again. Wakayama is really beautiful.

The hotel is situated at a secluded corner of Wakayama prefecture. It is much preferable to drive here rather than relying on the infrequent hotel shuttle. Public transport is otherwise non existent. There are no restaurants around the hotel. However the hotel provides delicious meals with abundant fresh seafood. The in room dining experience is superb. The hotel staff service is impeccable. The room has a spectacular sea view allowing you to see the sunset on clear days. The onsen also faces the sea which provides a relaxing experience. A downside is that the hotel does not seem to sanitize the slippers for indoor use. All hotel guests had to change to their slippers to access their indoor facilities.

Wonderful site for a deep experience of local. Grand sea views, classic meals and relaxing spring…if you have a car, I highly recommend this hotel.

All guests are required to return to the hotel before 11:30 p.m.（It is not possible to borrow two conversion plugs from the front desk for charging. They only borrow one !）

It has most things you need from a hotel but I did have some trouble with the self-check in system.
